LOS ANGELES - The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called long-haul COVID-19 "an emerging public health concern that is not well understood," in a report released by the agency on Friday.

While there may be a dearth of data on long-term symptoms associated with COVID-19, the CDC said they are becoming more common among those who contract the novel coronavirus.

The CDC drew its conclusion from a survey that consisted of data from 3,135 adults who had been tested for COVID-19 since January 2020.

Of the total respondents, 698 tested positive for COVID-19. Out of the total number of respondents who tested positive for the disease, 65.9% reported experiencing symptoms that lasted four weeks or more.
